Inter, Spalletti: "The penalty was correctly given. Fiorentina a strong, well-coached team."

Inter emerged from their Tuesday night match at the San Siro with a 2-1 win against Fiorentina. The nerazzurri have now collected 10 points on the season, and tonight collected their first three at home. Coach Luciano Spalletti spoke afterwards to Sky Sport, and began by discussing the words he had with Keita Balde on the sideline: "I know that these are the things that are discussed after the match, I had words for Politano and Keita, because the team was laboring to advance the ball, and I wanted them to move deeper to get the ball. When Keita played as second striker he helped us a lot. When he strayed wide to the right we were unable to find him. He looked at me a few times and didn't understand what I wanted to tell him. But it was nothing, people are looking to start a debate, but nothing happened. Controversy? The penalty was clear. Otherwise we need to look at the one given last season against Udinese and many others. The penalty is a penalty. He played it with his hand, the ball was in the penalty area. Fiorentina played well, I think, very well, modern, well coached, you can say that about them. They were a little lucky on the goal, our goals were justly allowed and there's nothing to invent."
